If you buy a home match ticket for the League Cup, FA cup or friendlies you only get 10 points.
You'd have thought the club would want to give home fans the same incentive for paying to watch the Clarets at home

New documentary series starts tonight on Channel 4 at 9:00 for three consecutive nights. Directed by James Newton the film covers the 2021 evacuation of Kabul.
Reading the review in the Observer it sounds a quite powerful documentary.

Went down on the coach from Burnley bus station - so busy it reminded me of the Wakes Weeks holidays when the whole town went to Blackpool.
Apart from the hour queue to get off the car park at Wembley, it had been,

A special night, no doubt......eclipsed only a few weeks later by the The Searchers who brought The Imp to a different level.

I believe there will be significant upgrades to the matchday hospitality side of things this summer. Along the lines of touchscreen pre-ordering of half time food and drink.
